A fruit salad is made from pineapples, pears, and peaches mixed in the ratio of 2 to 3 to 5, respectively, by weight. What fraction of the mixture by weight is pineapple? Can you explain this so I can understand how it works?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 2/10, is it that because you need to find how much fruit in total to calculate for the fraction, so 2+3+5= 10 so 10 will be you're bottom number. Then you need to look at how many pineapple there are to then make the fraction 2/10 because there are 2 pineapples out of the 10 fruits. Hope that helps!!

What is the median of 37, 39,40, 42,42, 45, 48, 49, 51, 52?

Answers

To find a median, first order the numbers from least to greatest, or vice versa.
Then, the middle number in that sorted list is the median.

But, this list is already sorted.
So, the median is 42 & 45.

Technically, the answer is 42 & 45.

The middle of 42 & 45, however, is 43.5

Hope this helped!

The median is ...........
43.5

only chocolate and vanilla ice cream cones are sold at an ice cream store. In one day, the number of chocolate cones sold was 1 more than 4 times the number of vanilla cones sold. A total of 121 cones sold that day

Answers

I just had this question for homework too!

c = 4v + 1
v + c = 121

Now use substitution.

v + 4v + 1 = 121
5v + 1 = 121
5v = 120
v = 24

The answer is 24.

Here's the equation:
4x+1+x = 121. Where x is equal to the amount of vanilla cones.
5x + 1 = 121
5x = 120
x = 24
There were 24 vanilla and 97 chocolate.
